Acharya Prashant addresses the question of whether being fearless goes against nature, given that fear is an evolutionary tool. He explains that a human being is not one, but two entities: the body and consciousness. The body is a product of Prakriti, or Mother Nature, and everything that Nature has embedded within us, such as the instinct for survival, security, pleasure, and reproduction, pertains to the body. These bodily needs are shared with all animals. For instance, both humans and animals need sleep and food. Therefore, any bodily mechanism, including fear, is something animalistic. It helps the body, which is the lower of our two selves. The other self is consciousness. Acharya Prashant illustrates this distinction by asking which is a greater insult: being called ugly or being called stupid. The audience agrees that being called stupid is worse, which proves that we identify more with our consciousness than our body. He argues that while fear is beneficial for the body's survival, it is detrimental to consciousness. What is good for the body but bad for consciousness is unacceptable. He uses the example of waking up for an exam: the body desires more sleep for comfort, but consciousness understands the need to study for a higher purpose. In this conflict, one regrets siding with the body's desires over the call of consciousness. He concludes that human beings are not merely animals and are not meant to be ruled by their physical nature. The purpose of human life is not just to follow the commands of the body, which are driven by biochemical processes. While fear is an evolutionary tool that helps the body survive and live longer, a long life full of fear is pointless. The goal is to use the body as an instrument for a higher purpose dictated by consciousness. Therefore, one must not defend animalistic behaviors by calling them 'natural'. Humans are not supposed to be 'natural' in the way animals are; they are meant to rise above their physical nature and use it in service of consciousness.
